A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL
AUTHORIZING RENEWAL OF IBM OPERATING
SYSTEM SOFTWARE FOR AS400
WHEREAS, Lodi Municipal Code §3.20.070 authorizes dispensing with bids for
purchases of supplies, services, or equipment when it is in the best interest of the City to do so;
and
WHEREAS, the City's IBM AS400 computer operating system is licensed annually
through IBM; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council authorize the renewal of the
operating system software license for the City's IBM AS400 computer from Logical Design, Inc.,
of Rancho Cordova, CA, in the amount of $31,598.00; and
WHEREAS, the heart of any computer is its operating system. It is the foundational
software, upon which all other applications and utilities operate. A computer cannot operate
without an operating system; and
WHEREAS, Logical Design, Inc, is the IBM vendor/partner assigned to handle the City's
account. Prices are standard and there would be no savings to the City by buying directly from
IBM or from another IBM vendor/partner; and
WHEREAS, there is no alternative to renewing the software license so long as the City
uses the IBM AS400 computer.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby approve
the renewal of IBM Operating System Software for AS400 from Logical Design, Inc., of Rancho
Cordova, California, in the amount of $31,598,00.
